"Each of us is on our own unique life path where the process of understanding who we are and the world around us is shaped by biology, family, community, culture, spirituality, natural environment, society and the wider collective field. Our journey can bring us awareness and joy but it can also challenge and wound us deeply, often constraining our capacity to cope with daily expectations, and contribute to larger complexities around identity, belonging, place, existence, change, and values. Through the co-creation of a caring, compassionate and accepting therapeutic relationship, we will work together in guiding your journey to: "

"Clients typically seek therapy because they are struggling with emotional issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship problems, OCD, career issues among other things. The ideal client not only has the desire to work on their issues but also the willingness to explore difficult areas in depth. Therapy requires some commitment and willingness to explore issues in depth for best results. It is not a quick fix but with some dedication and consistency, huge strides can be achieved in one's personal journey to wholeness."

"I believe in an empathic, collaborative approach, so that you may always be part of the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy allows for a unique relationship, whereby the focus of attention is on understanding you. It provides an opportunity for openness, trust and honesty, often difficult in other interpersonal situations. It can help you to increase your resilience to life challenges and improve relationships. I use a range of therapy modalities according to the best fit for your needs and personality. Greater meaning in life can be achieved by longer term therapy, but also brief periods of therapy which are cumulative."

"I am a caring therapist with a deep enthusiasm for inner wellness and personal freedom. I have worked closely as a psychotherapist with adults, children (6-12 years old), couples and families over the last 15 years in the Toronto area. My significant experience and training in various treatment orientations have provided me confidence to treat various psychological and emotional issues. I have had extensive consultation experience in providing a nurturing environment for my client's concerns. My approach is to provide consultation and effective treatment in a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients find a support that is compassionate, effective and transformative."

"Does the weight of your worry continue to grow and leave you feeling exhausted? Are you trying hard to fit in, but usually end up feeling excluded, unhappy, and anxious? Or perhaps you're noticing that your child is finding it hard to connect with others? The stress of relationships and identity can be a lot to manage; having to tell someone about it can be downright overwhelming. If you or a loved one feels like there's nowhere else to turn, accessing the support of a trusted therapist can help you focus on your strengths and discover who you really are."

"I am committed to providing a multiculturally competent approach to quality psychotherapy and assessment. I have extensive experience in counselling and conducting psychoeducational assessments for children, adolescents and adults."

"Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, depressed, hopeless, lonely,confused, scared, frustrated or stuck? Are the issues that you are facing getting in the way of your daily functioning, enjoyment, health, relationships, goals, academic success, job performance and of the hopes and dreams that you have for yourself? Are you tired of feeling the way that you are and want something different for yourself? If you answered "Yes" to any of the above, then you've come to the right place! We can work together to help you move toward a healthier and happier place in a way that fits for you."

"For more than 35 years I have been privileged to work with individuals: children, adolescents, adults, with couples and families in different configurations, and with groups. I also have been exposed to different schools of thought in psychotherapy and different ways of supporting people. I am not attached to any particular school of thinking or any particular school of helping, although I have a few strong attractions some of which include Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness. This profession, like many professions, is about growth, and so I would like to help you grow in your own unique way."

"For singles struggling with commitment: I will help you get clear on what you're looking for in a partner, and what may be getting in your way. For couples: I help both partners understand how your individual stories led you to each other, and how your inevitable difficulties can become opportunities for growth."

"People come to counselling/psychotherapy for many reasons. Sometimes they are struggling with distressing emotions that get in the way of their productivity, daily functioning and peace of mind. Other times, they want to have better experiences in their relationships with family, friends, a loved-one or co-workers. In some cases they are going through periods of change and struggle to find balance and comfort in the midst of uncertainty. If you are at an impasse in your life... if you simply cannot go on with things being the way they are... you are in the perfect place for change to happen!!"

"I am an experienced therapist with 28 years of practise to draw upon. I will listen carefully as you describe the issues that you need support and help to sort out. Often, an increased understanding of the challenges that you face can be very helpful to move forward in your life. As well, learning some new skills to manage the issues and/or gaining a new perspective on the issues can be useful as well. I appreciate that it is not easy to embark on a therapy course so I make every effort to be supportive and understanding as we build a therapy relationship."

"As a Registered Psychotherapist, human being, and author of BINGE CRAZY: A Psychotherapist's Memoir of Food Addiction, Mental Illness, Obesity and Recovery (2018), I view seeking help as a strength - requiring the courage and wisdom to reach your own truths. My practice, based in Gestalt therapy - a holistic, here and now approach encompassing any and all aspects of your life - includes other modalities to find what works best for you - from creative forms of expression to more structured methods. In Gestalt, you are the expert (on you) and I am the guide to help you explore what needs healing."

"I am devoted to helping individuals to explore issues around finding a sense of purpose in their own lives, particularly after a significant life change, or even if you are having difficulty making a decision around a significant life change. Often, depression and anxiety manifests as a symptom in our lives when it is unclear what meaning we attach to the things we are doing on a daily basis. I look forward to helping you explore these factors through active exploration of the things that are priority and important in your life."

"I know from personal experience that mental health struggles can have a devastating impact on our ability to live full lives. It's that experience that led me to become a Clinical Social Worker, and to train as both an individual and family therapist. In our work together, we will develop the skills and strategies that you need to find relief from your symptoms. We will also help you to explore the root causes of those symptoms, so that you can achieve long-term change. I have worked in community mental health for 10+ years, so I can also help you navigate the broader mental health system."

"Are you ready to learn strategies to overcome unproductive thought patterns and behaviours that get in your way? Wanting to cultivate satisfying relationships and meaningful connections with others? Do you wish to gain skills to embrace all emotions without being ruled by them? Are you ready to take risks, be courageous, and love with your whole heart? I am a Registered Social Worker, Registered Psychotherapist, and a Certified Daring Way(tm) Facilitator and I would like to help!"

"My name is Kailey Feldman and I am a registered social worker in Toronto, Ontario. I work with individuals who are struggling with any mental health issue, including (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, addiction, and eating disorders. I also help people adjust to life transitions, and work with clients who are struggling with conflict in their relationships. I have training in CBT, DBT, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing."

"I specialize in Women's Reproductive Life Transitions including families trying to conceive, pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy loss and menopause, often working with issues related to depression, anxiety and grief."

"As a practical, results oriented therapist, my treatment approach will provide you with insight and feedback to help you address current and longstanding issues. I approach my work with sensitivity and compassion. With an intregration of complimentary methods, I draw upon a selection of styles and techniques to incorporate what is most helpful to you as an individual. I have been providing counselling for 20 years and appreciate the courage it takes to book that first appointment."

"My approach is client-centred and I draw on various modalities to best meet the needs of the individual client. I am trained in CBT, EFT, SST and DBT and have many years experience in children's mental health and working with individuals and groups at Community Health Centre in Toronto. I will work with each client to identify their strengths, needs and provide a framework to learn new ways of coping and managing with whatever challenges they are facing. "
